Chapter 298: Chapter 293: Priceless Treasure

Mo Jiu dialed Shen Zhiyi’s number in an unhurried manner, "Are you ready? The show is about to start."

Shen Zhiyi’s voice was brimming with excitement, "I’ve been waiting for this moment for a long time. I want to watch them never recover." Her tone suddenly took on a teasing lilt, "Would it be more fun if he knew that you’re his real uncle?"

Mo Jiu disdainfully smoothed his lips, "The Qin family isn’t worthy, but I suppose telling him wouldn’t hurt, just to let him die with his eyes closed."

This way, the girl from Heavenly, like Yin Man, would belong to him.

...

Heavenly

Quan Jingyou held a glass of wine, "Brother Jiang, happy birthday, congratulations on becoming an adult."

Ji Tian didn’t touch a drop of wine, holding her glass of juice instead, "Happy birthday, Qin Jiangsheng."

Then, she mysteriously handed him a gift, a box, and softly coughed, "Open it when you get back."

He nodded with a smile in agreement.

"School starts in a few days; you can join our class now, hehe, we’ll be studying together again."

Qin Jiangsheng didn’t know that joining her class would make her so happy. Had he known that, he wouldn’t have hidden himself away and would have stood by her side sooner, staying close to her.

He smiled with a bend in his eyes, only this time his smile held an indescribable emotion.

The party was only until nine, and Qin Jiangsheng said that Old Sir Bai had something to discuss with him, so he had to go home first.

Everyone expressed their understanding, and Qin Jiangsheng left. Ji Tian quickly followed after him, "Let me send you off."

Quan Jingyou teased, "Hey, as if he’s going to run off or something. Sister Tian is even chasing after him."

This comment displeased Ji Weinan, "What are you rambling about? How could my sister throw herself at that kid!"

The comments from behind were ignored by the two who were leaving.

Qin Jiangsheng, seeing the person chasing after him, extended his hand and took her delicate white one, his gentle palm causing Ji Tian’s forehead to sweat from the heat.

Only when the cool outside breeze touched her did the heat on Ji Tian’s cheeks dissipate.

Qin Jiangsheng softly said, "It’s great to have friends, a lover, and the bonds of family. This is the perfect life a person should have." He turned his gaze to her and smiled, finally understanding why Ji Tian would protect her family even at the risk of death.

The New Year spent in the Ji Family was the most unforgettable memory of his lifetime.

Ji Tian watched him with a dazed expression as a slow smile spread across her face. He had finally broken free from the shackles the world had imposed on him, becoming vibrant and animated.

"How about you choose a different birthday gift?"

"Huh?" Ji Tian was perplexed. She had defied her family’s objections and dug out the "gold" from the cracks in the floor to give to him, a treasure she had coveted for half a year and had finally excavated on the pretext of gifting it.

"I gave you something valuable!" she pouted indignantly.

Qin Jiangsheng stopped, and Ji Tian only felt a shadow pass over her vision. Her lips felt the touch of a cool warmth, a fleeting kiss leaving behind a fresh minty breath.

Her heart pounded like a drum, and in an instant, she felt parched and breathless. The hand covering her eyes moved away, revealing Qin Jiangsheng’s radiant face once more.

"The gift I want is this, a treasure beyond price."

Ji Tian’s face flushed instantly.

"Also," he said, "when I told you I wanted a future with you, I was serious. I want to be with you for all eternity, never to be separated again."

Ji Tian returned to the private room in a daze. The Qin Jiangsheng who was whispering sweet nothings... how could he be so seductive?

Damn it, he actually used his charm!

Allowing her, a girl immune to all poisons, to fall completely.

...

Bai Mansion

The room was warm, and the Bai Mansion’s butler opened the door for Qin Jiangsheng and left.

The vast courtyard was very silent, Old Sir Bai sitting in a wheelchair, now finding it difficult even to stand.

He looked at his legs with self-deprecation, "Ah Jiang, carry me up to the second-floor study. I have a gift for you there."

Qin Jiangsheng was silent for a moment before squatting in front of Old Sir Bai, who leaned on his broad back, and only then did Qin Jiangsheng realize how light the kindly old man who had smiled at him three years ago had become.

From being the picture of health to his current frailty, Qin Jiangsheng felt like he had never truly looked at his grandfather.

At the beginning, he resisted, his whole body stubborn, like a young wolf cub, suspicious of everyone who appeared around him, treating them all, good or bad, as if they were enemies to be kept at arm’s length.

Without emotions, he wouldn’t get hurt.

Yet it was Ji Tian’s helping hand that allowed him to feel human warmth.

Perhaps he was originally approached with ulterior motives, but she indeed saved him.

Ascending the stairs, Qin Jiangsheng placed Old Sir Bai in a soft chair. Old Sir Bai pulled out a share transfer document from the desk, containing twenty percent of Bai Family’s shares.

"I had thought about giving you a branch company directly, but considering your young age and the need for studies, I decided on Bai Family shares instead. Since you like that Ji girl, having such substantial shares will prevent her family from looking down on you. When you grow up, go out and compete with the world, but keep the company for your elder brother. He’s had it tough, turned out like this because of your no-good father," Old Sir Bai’s expression showed dissatisfaction.

Bai Yan Zhang has messed around in his emotional life but did a pretty good job managing the company. He had argued with Old Sir Bai about the shares too, but Old Sir Bai was determined to give them to Qin Jiangsheng, and eventually fell silent.

"Sign it, after which I’ll have the lawyer come by tomorrow, and we’ll go through the formalities."

Qin Jiangsheng looked down at the document, then at Old Sir Bai, "Are you sure you want to give it to me? If you do, my elder brother will hate you to death."

Old Sir Bai glared at him, "None of your business, if you don’t want it, forget it."

Qin Jiangsheng signed, "If it’s a gift from you, how can I not accept it? If Bai Family becomes mine, I’ll make sure I run it well and bring it to new heights."

Old Sir Bai didn’t say anything else, but sighed, "The survival of the fittest. If he can’t hold on to it, he can only blame his incompetence."

Old Sir Bai clenched the transfer document, ready to place it in a box, when he heard the butler’s panicked cry from below, "Fire! Fire!"

Thick smoke rolled in through the door crack. The Bai Mansion was a hundred-year-old wooden structure that caught fire quickly, and the flames both inside and outside the windows soared high; the fire was intense and fierce. Qin Jiangsheng opened the door to find that the second floor was already on fire and the first floor was a sea of flames, spreading very fast.

Old Sir Bai’s face turned ashen, "Who did this!"

Qin Jiangsheng had no time to explain. Instead, he squatted in front of Old Sir Bai, "Get on my back. I’ll take you out."

Old Sir Bai refused, "Ah Jiang, you go ahead. I won’t hold you back with my old bones..."

He didn’t finish his sentence before Qin Jiangsheng had stepped out and returned soaked, holding a drenched blanket which he wrapped around Old Sir Bai, "Enough talk. If you don’t want to make me feel guilty, then stay alive. I can’t let you die in this fire."
